Hellington St John the Baptist

Baptisms 1813 to 1880

The tiny parish of Hellington lies in southeastern Norfolk about 7 miles southeast of the city of Norwich. Hellington is little more than a hamlet, with barely a handful of farms and cottages scattered along a lane running northwards from the A146 Norwich to Loddon road. The area has many small parishes and there are probably 7 other parish churches within a 2 mile radius of Hellington. As a consequence of its small acreage the parish also had a small population (below 100 parishioners in most censuses) which is reflected in the short transcript below. The area around Hellington is almost totally devoted to arable farming although a few pastures lie along the valley of the small stream which separates Hellington from its northern neighbour Rockland St Mary.

St John the Baptist's church is located on the western side of the narrow lane which runs through the parish, a lone house keeps it company. Despite the small size of the parish St John the Baptist is one of Norfolk's older churches. The round tower is usually a clue and in this case a meaningful one as Pevsner dates the tower to the Norman period (probably 12th century). Also Norman are both north and south doorways. The nave and chancel are later and in the Decorated style popular in the early 14th century making most of the fabric at least a half-century earlier than most of Norfolk's churches. The church is somewhat set back and masked by tall roadside hedges, a gate gives access to a graveyard which is devoted to wildlife conservation.

A single standard 800-entry register book covers the period, it ran on into the mid-20th century too. This register is filmed on Microfilm MF585 in the collection of the Norfolk Record Office which was used to prepare this transcript. Whilst not one of the more recent films MF585 is of a reasonably quality making for a relatively straightforward piece to prepare.
